PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS & INFRASTRUCTURE
Acreage: 45.62 Acres
Frontage & Access: Outstanding visibility and direct access on State Highway 78, a major north-south artery for the region.
Topography: Level, highly usable land featuring open meadows with scattered mature trees. Excellent build-sites requiring minimal grading or clearing.
Utilities: Co-op electricity and co-op water are available on-site, drastically reducing initial development friction.

UNPRECEDENTED REGIONAL GROWTH & CATALYSTS
Fannin County is currently experiencing historic economic and demographic growth, driven by massive infrastructure upgrades and master-planned developments:
Highway 121 Expansion: The nearby State Highway 121 corridor is undergoing an expansion to a four-lane divided highway, drastically reducing commute times to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and driving commuter housing demand into the Bonham/Bailey area.
Mega-Developments: The area is bracing for an influx of thousands of new residents. Major nearby projects include DR Horton’s new Asher Oaks subdivision and the massive 400-acre Powder Creek Ranch master-planned community, which is slated to bring 3,000 new homes alongside commercial and retail spaces to Bonham.
Twin Lakes Boom: The property sits strategically between two massive reservoir projects. To the north is the recently completed 16,600-acre Bois d'Arc Lake. To the southeast, the brand-new 7,600-acre Lake Ralph Hall is slated to complete filling in late 2026. These multibillion-dollar projects are transforming Fannin County into a premier recreational and waterfront destination, driving up land values and tourism.
STRATEGIC LOCATION & CONNECTIVITY
The tract offers a quiet, rural atmosphere while maintaining immediate connectivity to major hubs and everyday essentials:
Bonham: 10 Minutes (County Seat, daily shopping, dining, medical)
Bois d'Arc Lake: 30 Minutes
McKinney: 40 Minutes
Sherman / Greenville: 35 Minutes
DFW Airport: Approx. 1 hour 15 minutes
IDEAL USES
Given the highway frontage and unzoned flexibility, the potential uses for this tract are virtually limitless:
Residential Development: Subdivide into ranchettes or a mid-density single-family residential community to absorb the spillover demand from McKinney and Melissa.
Commercial / Light Industrial: Highway 78 frontage makes this an excellent site for RV parks, boat/RV storage facilities, warehouses, or equipment yards.
Buy & Hold Investment: Park capital in a rapidly appreciating asset with minimal tax liability thanks to the current Ag-Exemption.
Private Ranch / Estate: Build a custom luxury homestead or equestrian facility with plenty of room to roam.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a significant highway-frontage footprint in one of the most compelling emerging markets in North Texas.

Description
Positioned directly on the highly visible State Highway 78 corridor, this premier 45.62-acre tract offers one of the most versatile land investment opportunities in Fannin County. Located just south of Bonham near Bailey, Texas, the property combines scenic physical attributes with the raw infrastructure needed for commercial, residential, or mixed-use development. The Land & Topography The physical characteristics of this acreage make it an exceptionally developer-friendly site. The terrain is predominantly level and features sweeping open meadows interspersed with beautiful, scattered mature trees. This flat, usable topography requires minimal clearing and grading, significantly reducing site prep costs for future horizontal development. The land currently serves an agricultural use, providing lush pastureland that is completely fenced and easily accessible. Infrastructure & Utilities A major hurdle in rural land development is utility access, but this property is already equipped for the future. Both co-op electricity and co-op water are available on-site, providing the essential backbone for subdivision, commercial build-outs, or immediate private use. The property features extensive, direct asphalt frontage on Highway 78, ensuring seamless ingress and egress for heavy equipment, commercial traffic, or future residents. Zoning & Flexibility Situated outside the city limits, the property is entirely unzoned. This "blank canvas" status provides developers and investors with ultimate flexibility to execute their highest and best use—whether that is a residential subdivision, an RV park, a commercial storage facility, a light industrial yard, or a sprawling private ranch estate. Furthermore, the land currently holds an active Agricultural Exemption, keeping property taxes exceptionally low while you hold the asset, finalize development plans, or navigate the platting process. Location & Regional Growth Fannin County is in the midst of an unprecedented growth cycle. As the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex continues its rapid northern expansion, the Highway 121 corridor (currently being expanded to four lanes) is funneling heavy commuter and commercial demand directly toward the Bonham area. The property sits perfectly between major recreational hubs, located just 30 minutes from the newly completed 16,600-acre Bois d'Arc Lake and a short drive from the 7,600-acre Lake Ralph Hall project (slated for completion in late 2026). These multibillion-dollar reservoirs are transforming the region into a premier destination, driving residential demand and commercial needs. Distances to Key Hubs: Downtown Bonham: 10 Minutes McKinney: 40 Minutes Sherman: 35 Minutes Greenville: 35 Minutes Whether you are a developer looking for your next master-planned site, a commercial user needing highway frontage, or an investor seeking a secure, low-tax asset in a booming North Texas corridor, this 45.62-acre tract delivers on all fronts.
